A smaller view

Gavlar82 · 4 May 2016

Hi folks, something I've always struggled with is trying to hone in to capture the smaller views. I've always been about the wide and vast Landscapes. After viewing some very talented photographers ( Mark LittleJohn & Colin Bell ) masters of seeing a great composition among the often chaoatic scene in front of them I would love to try and train my eye to pick out the smaller details when out on photography adventures.
I have taken one shot i'm relatively pleased with. Are there any photographers here that like capturing the smaller details that could offer any advice/help?
Feel free to post up your forestry/smaller view images.

Here is my capture from a random stroll near Loch Ard

Thanks Neil, It's a style of Photography I wish I was better at. I will continue to try and develop this type of imagery when out and about.

I'm a fan of that. Its got bags of atmosphere. On the crit side, I think that the OOF branches are a bit of a distraction, and a composition that didn't include these would have worked better for me. I've been trying to work on a few images akin to this, so I'll follow this thread with interest!

Post them up Matty, look forward to seeing them. Thanks for the comment, the oof branched didn't really bother me as they didn't encroach into the highlights to much. But noted for future reference

It's not something I've tried personally but will move onto it at some stage for sure.

Pleasant scene but the shot is overly green. Even the whites are green.
I'm quite keen on having stories or elements that are tucked away and are found later in the viewing experience. Similar sort of thing in my last thread on the forum

Like it a lot. I take similar shots all the time but never get anything that I'm really satisfied with.

I like it too
It has mystical feel to it.
Did you see unicorns?

Ohhh I like this, but as stated before the OOF branch at the top is in the way of an otherwise beautiful shot. It's almost as if it's been CGI rendered for a movie or game.
